About transformation: BOOT - SUMMER, 2018

Your team can be ten times better.

What does that mean?

That means your team can get 10x more done, do it with 10x more quality, 10x faster, or with 10x fewer resources. Your family can be 10x happier. Your school can be 10x more effective at helping people learn. Your community group can be 10x better at making life better for the people it serves. Even you yourself can be 10x more effective at getting what you want. In other words, you can be great. Your team can be great.

Greatness

Can you say these things about your teams?My projects effortlessly complete on schedule and on budget every time.

Every team I’ve ever been on has shared vision.

In meetings, we only ever do what will get results.

No one here blames “management”, or anyone else, if they don’t get what they want.

Everybody here shares their best ideas right away.

Ideas are immediately unanimously approved, improved, or rejected by the team.

Action on approved ideas begins immediately.

Conflict is always resolved swiftly and productively.

The Core Protocols are one way to make teams that have these characteristics.

Core Protocols BootCamp with Jim and Michele McCarthy

A reliable way to learn how to create great teams is to participate in BootCamp. BootCamp is a 5-day immersive simulation where teams can intensively practice the Core Protocols.

The intense Boot Camp experience includes all of the failures and triumphs that occur with normal team formation; the creation of a team-shared vision; and the design, implementation, and delivery of a product.

The days in each BootCamp are packed with accelerated team dynamics; what usually takes a year or more is created in a couple of long days and nights of exceptionally deep engagement. BootCamp takes the participants through a full product delivery simulation.

Becoming a Great Team

The training will teach you skills, but the main thing that BootCamp provides is the experience of being on a great team. Having that feeling makes it easier to navigate back to greatness once you return to work with your team.

BootCamps are helpful because they can produce a Booted team more quickly than if the team were to just use the Core Protocols during day-to-day work. Instructors help coach the team as they form a team and then deliver great products on time.

The new skills you learn help you notice the barriers to greatness that exist in your mind. Practicing the Core with others helps you strip those barriers away. Together with your team, you use your skills and your greatness to ship a product. The growth is awkward, sometimes uncomfortable, challenging, and exhilarating all at once. You feel what being part of a high-performance team is like.

Because – you actually are part of a high-performance team.
